for how long will those beads be able to water the plant? from my understanding those beads are able to trap the water that otherwise would escape from the bottom of the pot and feed it back to the plant. what is their life cycle? 1? 2? months? after how long those are not able to trap water anymore?

If we used non food grade plastic for our gardening, it will degrade with time and by that, the toxic contained in it will release slowly. The plant roots absorb the water and nutrients from the ground, but also take the toxic. Then, we eat the plant. It's bad for us, in a short or long term.

Thank for your concern. The water gel/beads won't last. I much agree to that. However, hopefully the cap will help to hold a few drop of water while we're gone or to prevent the dirt from drying to quickly if there is a drought.
